A patient has had cataract surgery with IOL implantation. This patient is now

Amblyopic

Hyperopic

Pseudophakic

After undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, a patient is termed "pseudophakic." The term "pseudophakic" refers to an individual who has had their natural lens replaced with an artificial intraocular lens due to cataract surgery. This condition distinguishes them from individuals who are "phakic," meaning they still have their natural lens.

The other options are incorrect in this scenario:

- Amblyopia (Option A) refers to reduced vision in one or both eyes that is not correctable by glasses or contact lenses.

- Hyperopia (Option B) refers to farsightedness, a condition where distant objects are seen more clearly than near ones.

- Myopia (Option C) refers to nearsightedness, a condition where near objects are seen more clearly than distant ones.
